Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service

Plumber

😠 I will not use Roto-Rooter again. Not to get personal, but the technician who first came was WAY too large to work in the small space under the kitchen sink and the crawl space under the house. He stayed about 4 hours but some of that time was spent sitting in his truck waiting for a second person... People often mention company, time, water, professional, technician, service, issue, Roto-Rooter, work, recommend,

    I will not use Roto-Rooter again. Not to get personal, but the technician who first came was WAY too large to work in the small space under the kitchen sink and the crawl space under the house. He stayed about 4 hours but some of that time was spent sitting in his truck waiting for a second person. I find it hard to believe that they stopped working that day because they could not cut out a very thin piece of the cabinet to get to the broken pipe! We were charged over $400 for that first day which makes me think we were charged by the hour. Two men came back the next day to finish the job and we were charged another $200 plus, making the total amount $736.30. I DO NOT recommend using this company!

    Austin did a good job installing the water heater but we were not told that labor costs included him driving to pick up the water heater and driving back, especially when the location he went to was a little late in giving him the heater. was Charged 3 hours of labor at $550, 60 min were spent giving us a estimate for a new heater while he searched the suppliers online, over an hour getting the new heater and an hour and 20 min removing and installing the new water heater. would have been cheaper to take the $55 "no work done fee" and scheduled him to deliver and install the heater on another day, we feel we were over charged $270 in labor. total cost for removal and installation for a 30gallon tank was $1693.06

    Super responsive and incredible customer service from this company, I called to get service on our camper, and they were prepared to come out same day so that was awesome. Our tech, Russ was super informative and patient, and he really did try to help us. He even helped with a totally unrelated issue, and gave us some suggestions, so I wasn’t mad about spending my money with him. Lost a star because I still had to pay the price of the estimate even tho our tech couldn’t fix the issue. (He did make some adjustments when I asked, but legit $15 off $270. I know this is a company thing, so I wasn’t going to ruin this poor guys day after working his butt off for like two hours - take notes, y’all) Wish the company had a better policy about coming out when they can’t fix the solution. Currently out $255 to be in the exact same spot we were in before calling. I can understand covering the trip, but they offer free estimates so there has to be a middle ground. Would still recommend, especially if it’s a super routine thing.

    Kyle was fast to come help as sewage was backing up into the house. He was very professional and assessed the situation before offering a quote. He was able to fix the situation and get things put back together quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again! Great job, Kyle!!

    90 minutes after calling, John arrived. All drain issues resolved within an hour. I liked that there was no service call charge as it was within regular business hours. Very reasonable bill. Color me very satisfied!

    My experience with Roto Rooters, The Technician was very professional and friendly. He had the repair work done in less than 15 minutes. The only concern I had was I received an estimate on 11/2/2022 for around $268.01 for an easy access to shower and the water line .The estimate wasn’t explained to me up front just the amount. I’m a first time homebuyer and this is my first experience . I did agree to have the repair work done. I scheduled an appointment 11/10/2022 to have the work done. Once the repair was done the amount change from $268.01 to $230.90. The water line came unattached from the shower and the technician attached the water line back to the shower no parts needed not even needing a tool to attach the water line back to the shower and the repair was done in 15 minutes or less. I did ask the technician what was included in the amount after the work was done and and paid for. The technician explained to me that they charge prorated hourly rates which can be prorated and flat rate which can not be prorated. which I was charged the flat rate fee and paid $215.00 and can not be pro rated and the remaining $15.90 was for miscellaneous items like gloves and etc. my only concern was why was I charged a flat rate fee for a job that took 15 minutes or less with no tools needed to be used other than to remove 10 or less screws from the panel. To have access to the water line and attach it back to the shower and the work was done. As first time homebuyer’s we have to pay close attention to the companies we choose to do our repairs and very careful about what we say about how our repairs are being handled and paid for during an estimate. Because some companies will take that to a different level to get paid my opinion. On the other hand some companies will explain the detail estimates up front along with the details of the fees and have everything listed on the invoice and some companies want . And sometimes we really don’t pay close attention to it because we are just trying to get our repairs done. I did choose the company based off the years experience and rating score. This was my first experience and I definitely learned from it. I feel within my heart, because I stated that the repairs was covered under my insurance company and the company does not do third party. The only reason they charge me the flat rate fee of $215.00 is because my insurance would cover the amount of the repairs and reimburse me for the amount I paid for the repairs. Instead of the hourly pro rated fee because the repair took less 15 minutes or less. I did confirm with company that I was not charged for the mileage . So the above amount did not include any mileage.

    Chuck is wonderful! I would call him and his team anytime day or night. Very professional and knowledgeable and gets the job done. I own a property management company in Myrtle Beach and this company is the only one that called me back and it was Saturday evening before Easter and his price was very reasonable. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

    Fast, professional service from Chuck at Roto-Rooter! Price was very reasonable as opposed to other companies. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Haleigh M. 10 months ago on Google
    There was a lot wrong with what we had him come out to assist with & even in this heat he didn’t complain once , said the job usually takes 20 minutes & he was here for almost 2 hours. We really appreciate him!

    Jarod from Roto-Rooter came out to service an emergency on Father's Day. We was very responsive, professional and thorough. He communicated what the problem was and what he was doing to fix it and double checked to make sure it worked. I would definitely recommend working with Jarod again.

  • 5/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    John and Jeff were on time and repaired the water line leak promptly. They diagnosed the water heater problem through a process of elimination and determined the problem. They did not have the 30amp fuses with them, but explained in detail what to purchase. Excellent service! I recommend Roto-Rooter of Myrtle Beach for your plumbing needs.

  • 5/5 ROGER L. 1 year ago on Google
    Jason Foley was a very pleasant young man and got the job done, taking time to explain what was needed. I hope all of your team are as attentive as he was. We highly recommend Roto-rooter for any of your plumbing needs. Thank you Jason!!!

    We live in an older house and have had to call Roto Rooter many times. Chuck is the one who has come out almost every time. He is always on time, gets the job done and is very honest. Thank you!!!

    I have used Root Rooter before. I have always found them to be efficient and knowledgeable. This time, was a replacement of our hot water heater. The thing was very old and gave the technician a lot of trouble. The work lasted many hours and he was unable to solve the problem. We without water overnight. When the manager found out, he sent his most experienced technician over in the morning and finished the installation. they were responsive and bring. I will use them again.

    Jeff was the technician that was dispatched for our appointment. He was on time and was very professional and knowledgeable. Also, the option of being able to request an appointment online was super easy and convenient. Communication regarding the appointment was timely and professional. All around a great experience. Thanks Roto Rooter!

    Chuck Freburger was awesome. Identified the problem quickly and repair. Provide information to alleviate future problems. Good job!

  • 5/5 Michael F. 1 year ago on Google
    Roto-Rooter is the best! We live in a rental home & have no choice on the plumber. 2 plumbers (not Roto-Rooter) came & never fixed the problem. Finally Chuck Freburger with Roto-Rooter came by & diagnosed correctly & quickly fixed the problem. No reason to ever use anyone else!!

  • 5/5 Vodie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Everyone from this company was so sweet and extremely helpful! The customer service I received was awesome! The plumber that came out spent as much time as he could to make sure all repairs and all my questions were answered. He was very kind and very patient while he was working in my house. I appreciate all that this company did to make sure I was taken care of. I highly recommend them!

    Last Sunday I heard a weird gurgling noise in my pipes and went to investigate. Turned out I had raw sewage back up into both bathtubs and both toilets, and one toilet also overflowed. Thank Heaven Roto-Rooter makes emergency calls on weekends. Fixed and cleaned up all within 3 hours. Michael was great and explained everything to me. Good pricing considering weekend job and emergency need. Will call them again if I need them. Thank you for getting my weekend back on track!!

    My initial phone call was answered by Pam who was polite and efficient. She took all my details and promptly put me in touch with a technician who wasted no time in getting to the residence. Kyle, the technician, went straight to work and kept me informed throughout the day as to what steps he was taking to unclog the drain. When his efforts were unsuccessful he called in another tech to assist with different equipment. While the drain is not yet clear, I am so far satisfied with the quality of work and professionalism of this company.

  • 5/5 Diana G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience under trying circumstances. Christmas Eve and a serious drain backup. The customer service representative, Sharon, was professional and reassuring in scheduling a technician as quickly as possible. A great asset for your company. Russ arrived with timeliness, quickly assessed the problem and took care of it with thoroughness. He reviewed his findings and helped develop a plan to avoid future issues. We recommend Roto Rooter without reservation. Thank you Roto Rooter for rescuing our Christmas celebrations!!

  • 5/5 Randy A. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a washing machine and kitchen sink drainage issue. As can be the case with older homes, it can turn out to be a bigger job than planned. However, Kyle and Mike were very courteous, professional and knowledgeable - handling everything in stride. While I dislike plumbing problems, I really like knowing I have found a plumbing company I can trust.

  • 5/5 Albert 2 years ago on Google
    We had a clog drain. Since we had a home maintance coverage they send someone to check it out. When he left it was worst than before, hence us calling Roto-Rooter. Austin arrived within an hour and proceed to correct and fix the problem. Job well done!!

  • 5/5 Sandra M. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my second time using Roto-Rooter. The first time was May 2022 for a toilet repair. They were the only company I could get an answer from someone after calling over 7 businesses. When my garbage disposal started leaking, I did knew which company I was calling. The technician didn't come during the time I was told; however, when I called to inquire about it, I received information. The technician (Ellis) arrived, checked out the issue, & gave me the price for the repair. The repair was pricey for me, but it had to get done. When the technician was done, he also asked me about another issue that I did not mention to him. He showed me the possible issue. I would use this company again.

  • 5/5 Marilyn G. 1 year ago on Google
    Cleared two kitchen drains, fixed disposal, cleared standing water from dishwasher and cleaned bathroom drain. Travis was prompt, courteous, efficient and explained everything he was doing. Excellent service.

  • 5/5 Jeannie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely pleased! Michael was on time, knowledgeable, friendly and got the job done quickly. Reasonably priced too! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Nick D. 1 year ago on Google
    Ellis was very professional and courteous and prompt. Freed up clogged washer drain quickly. $270 for a 15 min snake job is excessive however

  • 5/5 DeAnna S. 1 year ago on Google
    Austin Perry has a new fan! We had a somewhat emergent situation and Austin arrived for an evening service call calm, cool, and collected. At no time did he make it seem like it was a bother to be at work after 5 PM. He was very professional, demonstrated good problem-solving skills and when the problem was worse than expected he had a plan in place to continue the next day. We had water far sooner than we expected and at a fair price. Based on this experience we would not hesitate to use Roto Rooter again or recommend them.

  • 5/5 Jerry J. 1 year ago on Google
    William and Ellis came to our home within an hour after our call to analyze our water heater issue. Got the parts covered under warranty & will return right away to install them. Thanks so much!

  • 5/5 Cyra K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a hot water heater that broke 2 days before Thanksgiving. We called them up, they came when they said they would and gave us an estimate on the spot. We agreed and 1 hour latter we had hor water. They were professional, knowledgeable and courteous. We could not ask fir more. We would give them 10 out of 10

  • 5/5 Mandy L. 1 year ago on Google
    Josh came within a couple hours of my call. I was out of town during the freeze we had last week and my outdoor shower had an issue. Josh was very professional and upfront about the costs and the unknown before he started working. He was thorough and explained everything as he found out what the issue was. He also gave me tips on what to do in the future. I am completely satisfied and will definitely call for my future plumbing needs.
